See the following sections for the optional Network Scanner - Nmap plugin configuration settings.

excludeHosts

Comma-delimited list of hosts to exclude from scanning. Uses the same format as the hosts field. Useful for excluding routers, firewalls, or critical infrastructure from scans.

For example:

timeout

Total scan timeout in seconds. For large networks, increase this value to prevent premature scan termination.

• Default: 300 seconds (5 minutes).
• Range: 1-86400 seconds (1 second to 24 hours). 
• Example: 60

timingTemplate

The name of the Nmap timing template controlling scan speed and network impact. See the following table for the supported options.

Example: polite

maxHostGroup

The maximum number of hosts to scan in parallel. 

• For small networks, use 5-10;
• For large networks, use 50-100.

Larger values increase scan speed but delay streaming feedback and consume more resources.

• Default: 10 hosts.
• Range: 0-1000. 
• Example: 20

skipHostDiscovery

true to treat all hosts as online and skip ping probes using:

Use this value when firewalls block ICMP ping requests. May increase scan time as Nmap will attempt to scan all specified hosts.

• Default: false
• Example: true

skipDNSResolution: 

true to skip reverse DNS lookups using:

Enabling this speeds up scans and reduces network traffic; however, hostnames won't be resolved in the output.

• Default: false
• Example: true

randomizeHosts

true to randomize the order of host scanning using:

This value helps distribute scan load and avoid detection patterns.

• Default: false 
• Example: true

state.lastRunDateTime

The timestamp of the last scan execution. This value is updated automatically after each scan and is for informational and tracking purposes only.

Example:
